Adding a New Pay Method

Bullhorn’s Pay Method feature allows users to view candidate pay method information within the Bullhorn Platform. This feature improves visibility of candidate information collected during onboarding, so additional payroll administration tasks can be done within one system. Users with the appropriate access can add and/or edit checking account, savings account, and paycard data on the candidate.

You may need to add a new Pay Method on behalf of a candidate. Follow these steps to add a Pay Method.
